    Idk. Casuals believed Mayweather couldnt be beat unless it was Pac. Now since that hope is gone, I don't think people really care much about them anymore. It's hard to say since I love both, but their pay per views will suck for now on. Especially Pac's. Still, they both rode off eachother coat tails.

    Khan vs Mayweather is a horrible fight I'd rather see Brook vs Mayweather

    the problem is that many like you are clueless. How did Manny get schooled when he barely got hit and fought a guy who ran? He lost, he didn't get schooled. Floyd;s performance was pathetic; he fought scared, made fight boring and won due to inactivity.

    what people don't get is the obvious, Floyd fans are as bitter as Manny fans after this pathetic performance, by both. This was supposed to be a career defining fight for whoever won but neither fighter came out a winner. Manny got the official 'L' but Floyd came out of this badly too. If Floyd would've KO'd Pac, hurt him or at least landed many big shots, it would've been different story. Intead, he deliberately made fight uneventful, barely did anything and it wasn't because he didn't need to, it's because he was scared and couldn't do anything else. It was a pathetic, unimpressive, boring performance that didn't get him much respect. This is a fact, just look at most boxing fans reactions, not just PAC's fans. Floyd had a golden opportunity here to cement his legacy as a true great and he failed by producing one of his least impressive wins of his career. If you compare this fight to all his previous fights, it was the least impressive performance. I mean, what did he do? i still am not sure what he did other than just assure almost nothing happened in the fight. He basically went in there, felt Pac's speed and power and curled up in a fetus position and refused to fight. He knew from round 1 that the less action there was, the better his chances. He didn't dare exchange with Pac or actually fight him.

    Floyd fans are also bitter about the injury, when it fact, it was a reality.

    :patsch
    Khan should not even be talked about in the same sentence with Pac certainly not Mayweather.

    What last weekend proved is Mayweather and Pac are on a different class to the other ww's even even while being past prime.

    I just rewatched Pac vs algieri and what suprised me is how easy he made the fight despite being out of prime while khan who is at his prime struggled.

    If Mayweather fights khan this September khan gets knocked out

    Algieri was a completely different fighter against Khan, and extremely tall and rangey and large - something Khan has never experienced before, being the tall rangey big guy himself usually.. Styles..

    He was like that because he didn't have to worry so much about the power so he could fight without to much care.

    You may very well be right here

    But either way, hes going to make Mayweather fight

    Hes gonna take Mayweather out of his comfort zone and no matter how you slice it, it'll be a better fight over all

    At least thats what I think

    Again, you might be right

    But even if Mayweather gets a KO

    Thats a far more exciting fight than watching him cruise to an easy, bare minimum UD as he does all too often

    Same

    If Mayweather wins by KO, thats exciting

    If Khan wins at all, thats exciting

    However this fight plays out, it'll be exciting which is what I've been saying for a while

    Its a good fight imo

    Actually fighting brook wouldn't be so bad

    Even if he got knocked out, he'd get a sweet payday so its probably worth it
